Subiaco, Ancient monastic settlement in Latium, Italy
The town spreads across the slopes of the Aniene River valley at 408 meters elevation, surrounded by the limestone cliffs of the Apennine Mountains.
German printers Arnold Pannartz and Konrad Sweynheim established Italy's first printing press at the Santa Scolastica Abbey in Subiaco during 1464.
The Sacro Speco monastery contains multiple layers of medieval frescoes depicting religious scenes, including the earliest known portrait of Saint Francis of Assisi.
Regular bus services connect Subiaco to Rome's Ponte Mammolo metro station, with the journey taking approximately 90 minutes through the Aniene Valley.
Emperor Nero built three artificial lakes near Subiaco for his villa complex, giving the town its Latin name Sublaqueum, meaning 'under the lake'.
